Flying Footballs!

Help me give my students foam footballs for physical education class. Currently we have very few foam footballs for physical education class and regular footballs are unsafe for students learning how to catch and throw.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Weiss's classroom raised $196

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These footballs will be used for both the flag football team and for all physical education classes. We have a very large school and students love playing football! Foam footballs are a great way to learn skills without the risk of being hurt.

Foam footballs are a great option for developing football skills without getting hurt.

Your contribution will be ongoing for years because the vendor we use replaces broken equipment with a 100% guarantee! This will benefit thousands of students from year to year at Lyon Elementary. Please consider donating.
